Abstract

A commercial graphene-amine (CGA) and synthesized selenium nanoparticle (SSeNP) nanocomposite coated on the surface of fluorine-doped tin oxide (SSeNPs–CGA–FTO) substrate was developed by spin coating for H2O2 detection. The CGA–FTO and SSeNPs–CGA–FTO electrochemical sensors were characterized using FESEM with EDAX analysis. FESEM analysis showed nanotube and fluffy morphology of the SSeNPs and CGA, respectively. The developed CGA–FTO and SSeNPs–CGA–FTO electrochemical sensors were used for the sensing of hydrogen peroxide by chronoamperometry (CA) in NaOH (0.1 N) electrolyte. The sensors showed a linear response range from 0.1 mM to 20 mM with sensitivity of 101.7 mA mM−1 cm−2 (R2 = 0.9931) and 137.9 mA mM−1 cm−2 (R2 =  0.9956). The CGA–FTO and SSeNPs–CGA–FTO showed a very low detection limit of 0.1 mM and 0.05 mM, respectively, with a detection response time of less than 1 s. The interference study of the SSeNPs–CGA–FTO-based sensors showed higher selectivity towards H2O2 with interfering agents as compared with CGA–FTO.
